Nevada Social Security Disability Insurance

Serious illness or injury can turn your world upside down. If you are out of work due to a disability, you may worry how you will make ends meet without your regular paychecks. Medical bills alone may pile up. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can offer a lifeline. SSDI provides financial assistance to people just like you. But these benefits are not always easy to get. Nevada SSDI attorneys can help.

How Do You Apply for SSDI?

SSDI is part of Social Security. To qualify, you must have worked long enough to have paid a certain amount of Social Security tax. This tax is deducted from paychecks. You can apply by phone, in a local Social Security office, or online.

You may need to submit:

Personal information, such as marital status and birth dates of minor children

Who Decides Who Gets Benefits?

You apply for SSDI through the Social Security Administration (SSA)—either by phone, online, or in person at a local office. SSA forwards your file to a state agency. In Nevada, that agency is the Bureau of Disability Adjudication.

In weighing your application, the state will consider some basic questions:

Are you working? If so, your monthly income must not exceed a certain amount.

Is your condition "severe"? It must interfere with basic work activities.
